A local U16 team from Penn Fusion Academy is one win away from capturing a national title in the Elite National Premier League championships after a 2-0 win over Texans SC Houston on Friday in Colorado.
Penn Fusion scored goals early in each half and kept a clean sheet thanks to some stellar goalkeeping to book a spot in the final against GPS Massachusetts, which beat San Diego Surf 3-1 in the other semifinal on Friday.
Team captain Andrew Rosenbaum opened the scoring early when he dispossessed a Texans defender and buried a curling shot from 25 yards out.
